Potential Health Effects
--------------------------- Inhalation: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation. Ingestion: Large doses may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected. May cause mild irritation and redness. Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation. Chronic Exposure: Prolonged inhalation of the dust or fume may result in a benign pneumoconiosis, producing distinctive changes in the lungs with no apparent disability or complications. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No adverse health effects expected. |
|||
| 3. First Aid Measures | |||
| Inhalation: Not expected to require first aid measures. Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Skin Contact: Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops. |
|||
| 4. Fire Fighting Measures | |||
| Fire: Autoignition temperature: Dust Cloud : 630C (1166F); Dust Layer: 430C (806F). Explosion: Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Minimum explosible concentration: 0.19 g/l Particle size and air concentration determine reactivity. Fire Extinguishing Media: USE dry sand, graphite, dolomite, sodium chloride. NEVER USE water, halogenated agents, or class A, B, or C extinguishers. Special Information: Use protective clothing and breathing equipment appropriate for the surrounding fire. |
